Inleiding
In her solo exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Schenker presents large-format oil-pastel drawings.
For more than two decades, Swiss artist Katja Schenker (b. 1968) has devoted herself to performative works, drawings, sculptures and installations in indoor and outdoor spaces. She mainly develops her artworks from natural materials, whereby not only their sensuous qualities, but also spatial and temporal aspects, such as context, mass or transience, play an important role.
In her work, she takes the theme of the body, corporeality and body perception as a starting point, from which she explores spaces that she both occupies and creates, conveying a particular interest in permeability.
In her solo exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Schenker presents large-format oil-pastel drawings. To produce these, she starts by applying gouache to her body and making imprints of it. She then uses both hands to draw in oil pastel on the resulting body images, adding bold lines that open up new spaces and establish a relationship with the imprints. In the process, paint is transferred back onto her body and from there back onto the paper – a continuing exchange, in which lines also blur.
A performance by the artist complements the exhibition and will be premiered at the vernissage.
